StarQuestMC Wiki

Welcome to StarQuest: 3.0

You have just made it to Trinitos Alpha. You, along with all of your fellow settlers from the Regalis, Digitalia, and Defalos systems, will find yourself in the Trinitos Spaceport, the station that will start you off on your long, unique, and personalized journey.

You have to choose between the planets of Trinitos Alpha immediately after joining the server. Will you take a public shuttle to the mushroom planet, Cetallion? How about the fertile and mountainous planet of Loyavas? Rakuria, the tropical paradise where the polymer trees grow? Or will you instead go to Grun, the desert planet known for being extremely rich in minerals?

To make a ship, Rakuria is obviously the planet to go to. After all, the polymer grows on trees. But some are bound for greater adventures. It is all up to you. Everything you will ever need to know about SQ is located here, from planet listings to the list of important players; you should have no problem building your legacy in Starquest as long as you read the Wiki.

[Legacy Wikia Page Message] At long last, your journey has come to an end and you've reached Interstellar Station. Your colony ship has just docked. Finally, you've arrived in the solar system that is to be your new home!

From here, you have a lot of options ahead of you. You still need to aquire a ship to take you from Interstellar Station, find a new planet to build your home, and decide what to do with your new life.

Will you find a green planet to cultivate your own self-sufficient farmland? Will you find a dangerous planet to explore and conquer? Or will you arm yourself to the teeth and become a fearsome pirate warlord?

This wiki will help you with those crucial decisions and more.

Server Resources

There are several resources users can take advantage of to further their StarQuest experience.

• The StarQuest Home Page - Server news is posted here, so it's good to check it every once in a while.
• The StarQuest Forums - Ask questions, make suggestions, and get to know the other members of the community here
• The StarQuest 2.0 Official Resource Pack - This is the original Official Resource Pack. Not recommended over the new Official 3.0 Resource Pack.
• The Official Resource Pack - This is the new Work in Progress Official 3.0 resource pack. While not required to play StarQuest, it is highly recommended.
• The Dynmap - This is a live map of the server. More information about how to use the Dynmap can be found here.
• The StarQuest Modpack - This is a compilation of all mods acceptable on the StarQuest Server.

You will need to decide where to live. Different planets offer different pros and cons. 

• Planets of StarQuest - A page listing all of the planets in the solar system. It also lists the Spawn Station, since it's practically a planet.

• Mob Distribution - Most mobs are only found on a specific planet or two. This list will help you find what planet a mob resides on.

• Resource Distribution - Similar to the mob distribution, but for resources.

Factions and Alliances

Once you've decided which path to follow, you need to be in a town, faction, or nation. This will help you decide how to make one, and show you a map of the existing towns, factions, nations, and alliances. You can usually find a place on the forums to apply to one of those depicted on the map.

Shipbuilding

No matter which path you choose, and whatever profession you may become, you will need a ship. The starfighter you purchased on Interstellar Station may be serviceable for awhile, but soon enough you'll want something better. Sure, you could buy a ship from someone else, but why not build it yourself? It's not hard, and it's very rewarding to fly a ship you made with your own blocky hands.

• Ship Types - Different ships have different sizes, speeds, and capabilities. Learn about them here.
